professional results the very first time you use it. >> hi, i'm steve thomas. >> hi, i'm jennifer slimko. >> now, you've seen me on television home renovation shows for 20 years and i'm known as a bit of a tool hound. so, i did a quick count and i've got 18 power saws in my own shop. but today i wanna show you an all-new power saw that i think is pretty special. >> it's called versacut and it's a really innovative new power tool from rockwell. >> versacut is designed to do the work of tile saws, circular saws, chop saws and even table saws. >> it's powerful, compact and easy to use. >> and it's truly like having an entire workshop full of power tools in the palm of your hand. >> it feels good, i can tell it's made of quality materials. >> it's got the size of a grinder, the power of a hand saw and it can combine both duties into one. so, it's a space saver, a time saver and it's quite unique. >> versacut is lightweight and easy to use. it's designed so you can cut pretty much anything right on
4:02 am
top of a simple piece of scrap lumber. >> and that's because of this critical feature. i set my depth gauge to three-quarters of an inch and the blade extends exactly three-quarters of an inch. i just let the tool do the work. [whirring, ♪...] [whirring stops] so, i can cut pretty much anything i want, anywhere i want. >> and how about getting rid of some of that cleanup time too, right? just hook up your shop vacuum to the side and let versacut do the cleanup for you. [whirring, ♪...] >> because there's so little dust and mess, versacut is an ideal tool for renovations, indoors or out. >> i've been using tools for 34, 35 years and when you get a tool that's cheap you can tell right away and when you get a tool that's very high quality you can tell right away. and the first time i used the versacut, i could tell right off this is very well made.
4:03 am
if i'm cutting cement board, usually i have to set it up outside and the dust would blow everywhere. with the versacut, i can set it up right in the room, it goes right into the vacuum, less cleanup, less dust. to me that's the only tool to use for cutting cement board now. i will never use anything else for that. the other thing that's really nice about it is how it actually plunges when you cut it, even porcelain, which is a hard tile. in my 35 years as a contractor, i've never seen a saw like the versacut. >> you're going to find yourself using versacut all the time, because it cuts almost anything, so you won't need to lug around or find space for multiple saws. >> right here i've got oriented strand board, plastic, prefinished flooring, sheet metal and plywood. [whirring, ♪...] one down. [whirring, ♪...] through the plastic, prefinished flooring, sheet metal, plywood. nice clean cuts, no need to run back to the truck or shop.

>> there's a carbide tooth wood cutting blade, a high-speed steel blade and here i've got the diamond blade for tile and masonry, so everything's covered. [whirring, ♪...] you saw it on wood, metal, plastic and here on tile. no matter what you need to cut, versacut makes a quality cut the first time, every time. >> announcer: versacut is from rockwell, so you know it's a high-quality, precision instrument. with a compact, balanced design that's less than half the weight of an ordinary circular saw, it's much easier to control. precision depth settings allow you to cut in place on a simple piece of scrap lumber. 3500 r.p.m. of cutting power so it speeds through almost any material. an all-metal plunge base and blade guard that provide 360 degrees of protection. plus a laser guide that helps you get perfect straight cuts every time. and with the three different cutting blades for wood, metal and tile, you're gonna use versacut all the time.
4:05 am
>> check this out: we're going to show you how to take the pain out of cutting plywood sheets down to size. >> this is how versacut really makes your life easier. i'm using my optional track guide, setting it with the cut line indicator and i can make clean, straight cuts in sheet goods like plywood right on the stack. [whirring] >> jennifer: now you're not gonna wrestle with the full-size sheets and no back and forth to the garage, no sawhorses-- simply make the cut. [whirring stops] >> tell me that's not going to save you and your crew time. >> versacut's depth control makes this all possible. with the precision depth setting, i can regulate the exact depth i want the blade to extend from the plunge base. now it's so exact, i can cut the ink off a business card that's only 1/64th of an inch thick. let me show ya. [whirring] [whirring stops] try that with any other saw. right, steve? >> that is unbelievable.
4:06 am
versacut gives you exactly the precision cuts you need, when you need them and where you need them. >> right now i am in charge of maintenance for a 60-unit apartment building. we're currently turning over all the units. we're remodeling kitchens, bathrooms, installing hardwood flooring. there's a lot of work there for the versacut and it's made my job much easier and much faster. by being such a small, compact saw, i can handle it with just one hand, which leaves my other hand to hold down the material and secure it. versacut meets the power standards i need, the size and weight of it are nothing like i've ever seen, it's got a great laser line for ensuring straight cuts and the depth gauge is easy to set, easy to use. it's safer to use as well. it's a great all-around, multi-purpose saw. >> here's something that makes the versacut really unique. i can keep the base stable on the material and make perfect plunge cuts every time. with versacut... [whirring] it's safer... [whirring] it's simpler... [whirring] takes just seconds... [whirring]
